Thanks GP. No, I haven't seen it actively feed itself, but there is no prompting to get it to take food as was happening when it was really small. Back then it was more a primitive response, whereas now, it's a very purposeful act to take food and it also walks away from the mother when it's had enough, as it did this afternoon.

After she'd finished cleaning her beak, she checked on the chick and flew around the local area three times before settling on a branch much closer to the river.
